but the other piece is susan rice. i have to tell you, be she is so popular with the white house, there is no question in my mind, i've never been more certain about a nomination or the intention to nominate. not just a trial balloon. but she is being blamed by many on the hill, democrats and republicans, and the white house response to that is on benghazi, that her interviews that sunday morning, were completely the talking points given to her by the cia and she should not be blamed for that. there are democrats who say she would have a hard confirmation battle. >> right. this would look like and i always trust your reporting on these things, andrea, be that the white house is -- if not deadset on susan rice, certainly close. but there are many conservatives, republicans and kind of sort of pragmatic democrats who don't want the fight to say this is going to be a huge nomination fight. is that what we want? whether they -- the critics are right about her on benghazi or wrong, there's going to be a big nomination fight

and as for that susan rice debacle ... >> for them to go after the u.n. ambassador who had nothing to do with benghazi and was simply making a presentation based on tellens that she had received, and d to besmirch her reputation is outrageous. >> outrageous? if she had nothing to do with benghazi, why did you even send her out? why not the secretary of state? or the other people above rice? might this have been a dress rehearsal t ao test whether she could follow those make-believe narratives? and by the way, to me, outrageous is a so-called professional repeating a story and a conclusion five times on national television without the facts. we all know you had the facts. the auto, the visual, the drone, the intelligence, the secure communications, and we all know that she could readily access those facts. but enough about that. and a this week your then cia director david petraeus finally talked and said his intelligence report was scrubbed. so who scrubbed it? who changed it? i'm not going to hold my breath on that one. >>at and why would the good genera

i'm just wondering the logic behind why public official susan rice, general petraeus and the president would lie knowing full well that the truth would ultimately come out and the alternate explanation is they were given wrong intelligence and they would have been more suspicious of that intelligence and perhaps they spun the intelligence they were given, but couldn't it just be a matter of wrong intelligence as we've seen before? >> i think it is less likely that there is incompetence at the cia and incompetence at the national security council that they -- that they ended up giving the president of the united states false information. i think there is less likelihood of that than if the president was in battle mode and in the middle of a campaign and felt that any type of things that made it look like the islamic threat, the radical -- the radical islamic threat is still upon us would be harmful to him politically. so i can't say that was his motive. i don't know what was going on in his head, but it's not likely that the national security council and the cia didn't do their job, thu

and this had nothing to do with susan rice. now we know, from the testimony of petraeus, as well as from what has been said on last evening that the talking points she was given, she absolutely read from the talking point. she didn't deviate from that. now if she had deviated in some way from the talking points, then they would have some issue with her -- >> so then -- i'm going to hop in because i'd love to hear the answer to dana's question is so then who are you frist traited with? are you frustrated with the republicans who seem to be going after rice? are you frustrated with the intelligence community that kind of left her hanging out there? are you frustrated with the 97 republicans who signed a letter urging the president not to nominate susan rice for the secretary of state position? all of the above? >> well, i guess all of the above. just have to say all of the above. the fact of the matter is, the expressions came from the same senator from south carolina, and senator mccain. that letter, signed by 97 people, was cir
